GOODBYE 2025! HELLO 2026!


By Vicki Marsh, Past President A

At Synod, we provided a “Women’s Welcome” for the wives during Synod registration, sponsored an event for Church planter and Missionary wives, an Oasis for all women at Synod, and provided childcare in the Mary Alice Cottage so that women could attend these events.

Giffen was sent to Egypt. Over 150 women attended and the fellow- ship was in abundance (it was hard to get them back to their seats after breaks because there was so much “fellowship”)! The three main speak- ers: Gillian Brickey, Suzanne Allers, and Martha-Margaret Cotton were wonderful as each spoke on a differ- ent aspect of being a missionary and raising a family in that situation! Our music was led by the mother-daugh- - ford, who provided special music and led us in several hymns.
